282b016e	2025-04-24T15:07:41	automake: algol68: rename A68 to A68C and AM_PROG_A68 to AM_PROG_A68C. From https://bugs.gnu.org/78033 (automake-patches). While upstreaming the Algol 68 autoconf support it was pointed out that the shell variable A68 should be renamed to A68C and that the macro AC_PROG_A68 should be renamed to AC_PROG_A68C. This is to be more consistent to the support for other languages like Go. This patch updates the Automake side. The Algol 68 code snippets are also updated to use modern stropping, which is the stropping regime now used by default by ga68. * bin/automake.in (a68): change config_vars, libtool_tags et al. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: likewise rename. * doc/automake.texi: likewise rename. * t/a68-demo.sh: likewise modify.

cfdb83d4	2023-12-10T09:50:51	automake: again revise file mtime resolution support. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/67670. In order for the Automake testsuite to be able to use sub-second delays to control whether certain files are considered newer than others, five(!) separate pieces of software all need to cooperate: automake itself, autoconf's internal `autom4te' utility, the Perl interpreter and its libraries, the sleep(1) shell utility, and finally the filesystem hosting the build directory. The existing tests for this are a combination of inadequate and incorrect. This patch, in conjunction with a patch just committed to Autoconf trunk, https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=39d96e6fff7ceae63b823872602caf4d255a38c8 should make everything much more robust, as follows: - _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION is completely rewritten. It no longer looks for autom4te at all, because this macro is invoked unconditionally from AM_INIT, so every project that uses Automake would get this test that's only relevant to Automake's own testsuite. Also, it tries sleeping for as little as one millisecond (smaller delays consistently get rounded up to 1ms on my computer and I expect that's universal), it should accurately detect FAT's two-second resolution now, and it should not be tripped up anymore by running at precisely the moment that will make a 0.1s sleep cross a 1s boundary (this may sound unlikely but it used to cause a couple of test failures every time I ran the automake testsuite on a network filesystem that only supported 1s resolution). - In support of the above, the test for working ls -t moved from AM_SANITY_CHECK to _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION. This allowed me to simplify the test for $srcdir/configure being older than a freshly created file. - If automake is capable of reading high-resolution file modification timestamps from the operating system, it prints `Features: subsecond-mtime' as the second line of --version output. (We can't just assume this works for sufficiently new automake, because it depends on whether the Perl interpreter provides this capability, and that's not a simple question of which version of Perl you have, either.) - The Autoconf patch mentioned above adds the same annotation to the output of autom4te --version. - Finally, t/ax/test-defs.in looks for the `Features: subsecond-mtime' string from both automake and autom4te and resets the sleep time to one second if it's not there. There might be a better place to put this, somewhere it'll execute every time the overall testsuite is invoked rather than once for each test, but I couldn't find one. Tested on x86-64-linux with development automake and development autoconf.

8abf0894	2022-02-20T13:28:48	automake: support embedded \# in variable appends Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/7610. Use of \# is not portable. POSIX does not provide any way of retaining the # marker in variables. There is wide spread support for \# though in GNU & BSD Make implementations. Today, with plain variable assignments, Automake leaves the line alone: foo = blah\#blah This will leave it to the implementation to decide what to do. But if you try to append to it, Automake follows POSIX and strips it: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> foo = blah\ what Instead, let's issue a portability warning whenever \# is used, even if it isn't being appended, and do not strip the \# when appending. Now: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable -> foo = blah\#blah what * NEWS: Mention change in \# handling. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Do not strip # if escaped. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Warn if \# is used. * t/comment12.sh: New test. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add comment12.sh & comments-escaped-in-var.sh.

22089fa6	2020-09-13T11:33:05	New utility function Automake::ChannelDefs::merge_WARNINGS. This function merges a list of warnings categories into the environment variable WARNINGS, returning a new value to set it to. The intended use is in code of the form { local $ENV{WARNINGS} = merge_WARNINGS ("this", "that"); # run a command here with WARNINGS=this,that,etc } This is not actually used in automake, but will be in autoconf. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (merge_WARNINGS): New function.
74673d1c	2020-09-11T18:03:19	Consistently use ‘our’ instead of ‘use vars’. At file scope of a file containing at most one ‘package’ declaration, ‘use vars’ is exactly equivalent to ‘our’, and the latter is preferred starting with Perl 5.6.0, which happens to be the oldest version we support. (This change has nothing to do with the previous two, but I want to make the same change in Autoconf and that means doing it here for all the files synced from Automake.) (I don’t know why, but this change exposed a latent bug in FileUtils.pm where the last pod block in the file didn’t have a ‘=cut’ delimiter, so the code after it was considered documentation, causing ‘require FileUtils’ to fail.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm * lib/Automake/Channels.pm * lib/Automake/Condition.pm * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm * lib/Automake/General.pm * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm * lib/Automake/Options.pm * lib/Automake/Rule.pm * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm * lib/Automake/Variable.pm * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Replace all uses of ‘use vars’ with ‘our’. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Add missing ‘=cut’ to a pod block near the end of the file.
9ae8a896	2020-09-11T16:17:41	Consistently process -W(no-)error after all other warning options. automake and aclocal were processing ‘-W(no-)error’ whenever it appeared on the command line, which means that ‘-Werror,something-strange’ would issue a hard error, but ‘-Wsomething-strange,error’ would only issue a warning. It is not desirable for warnings about unknown warning categories ever to be treated as a hard error; that leads to problems for driver scripts like autoreconf, which would like to pass whatever -W options it got on its own command line down to all the tools and not worry about which tools understand which warning categories. Also, this sort of order dependence is confusing for humans. Change parse_warnings to take just one option, the _complete_ list of warning categories seen on the command line, and to process -Werror / -Wno-error after processing all other warnings options. Thus, unknown warnings categories will always just be a plain warning. This does mean aclocal has to stop using parse_warnings as a Getopt::Long callback, but that’s not a big deal. Similarly, change parse_WARNINGS to record whether ‘error’ appeared in the environment variable, but not activate warnings-are-errors mode itself. parse_warnings picks up the record and honors it, unless it’s overridden by the command line. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm ($werror): New package global (not exported). (parse_WARNINGS): Do not call switch_warning for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; just toggle the value of $werror. (parse_warnings): Do not call switch_warning immediately for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; toggle $werror instead. Call switch_warning ‘error’ at the very end if $werror is true. Remove unused $OPTION argument. * bin/automake.in: parse_warnings now takes only one argument. * bin/aclocal.in: Call parse_warnings after parse_options instead of using it as a parse_options callback.
ab9ef6cf	2020-09-11T14:23:10	Sync ChannelDefs.pm from autoconf. ChannelDefs.pm ought to be kept in sync between automake and autoconf, because it defines the set of valid -W options, and autoreconf assumes that it can pass arbitrary -W options to all of the tools it invokes. However, it isn’t covered by either project’s ‘make fetch’ and it hasn’t actually been in sync for more than 17 years. This patch manually brings over all of the changes made on the autoconf side. Most importantly, there is a new warnings channel ‘cross’, for warnings related to cross-compilation. Also, the ‘usage’ function now returns the text to be put into a usage message, instead of printing it itself. (This is necessary on autoconf’s side.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Sync from autoconf. (cross): New warnings channel. (portability-recursive): Document. (usage): Now returns the text to be printed, instead of printing it. (parse_warnings): Second argument may now be a list.

automake: again revise file mtime resolution support. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/67670. In order for the Automake testsuite to be able to use sub-second delays to control whether certain files are considered newer than others, five(!) separate pieces of software all need to cooperate: automake itself, autoconf's internal `autom4te' utility, the Perl interpreter and its libraries, the sleep(1) shell utility, and finally the filesystem hosting the build directory. The existing tests for this are a combination of inadequate and incorrect. This patch, in conjunction with a patch just committed to Autoconf trunk, https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=39d96e6fff7ceae63b823872602caf4d255a38c8 should make everything much more robust, as follows: - _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION is completely rewritten. It no longer looks for autom4te at all, because this macro is invoked unconditionally from AM_INIT, so *every* project that uses Automake would get this test that's only relevant to Automake's own testsuite. Also, it tries sleeping for as little as one millisecond (smaller delays consistently get rounded up to 1ms on my computer and I expect that's universal), it should accurately detect FAT's two-second resolution now, and it should not be tripped up anymore by running at precisely the moment that will make a 0.1s sleep cross a 1s boundary (this may sound unlikely but it used to cause a couple of test failures *every time* I ran the automake testsuite on a network filesystem that only supported 1s resolution). - In support of the above, the test for working ls -t moved from AM_SANITY_CHECK to _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION. This allowed me to simplify the test for $srcdir/configure being older than a freshly created file. - If automake is capable of reading high-resolution file modification timestamps from the operating system, it prints `Features: subsecond-mtime' as the second line of --version output. (We can't just assume this works for sufficiently new automake, because it depends on whether the Perl interpreter provides this capability, and that's not a simple question of which version of Perl you have, either.) - The Autoconf patch mentioned above adds the same annotation to the output of autom4te --version. - Finally, t/ax/test-defs.in looks for the `Features: subsecond-mtime' string from both automake and autom4te and resets the sleep time to one second if it's not there. There might be a better place to put this, somewhere it'll execute every time the *overall testsuite* is invoked rather than once for each test, but I couldn't find one. Tested on x86-64-linux with development automake and development autoconf. Previous discussion: - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-03/msg00000.html - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-04/msg00002.html - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-12/msg00005.html - https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=64756 * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): Rewrite for greater reliability.

automake: support embedded \# in variable appends Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/7610. Use of \# is not portable. POSIX does not provide any way of retaining the # marker in variables. There is wide spread support for \# though in GNU & BSD Make implementations. Today, with plain variable assignments, Automake leaves the line alone: foo = blah\#blah This will leave it to the implementation to decide what to do. But if you try to append to it, Automake follows POSIX and strips it: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> foo = blah\ what Instead, let's issue a portability warning whenever \# is used, even if it isn't being appended, and do not strip the \# when appending. Now: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable -> foo = blah\#blah what * NEWS: Mention change in \# handling. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Do not strip # if escaped. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Warn if \# is used. * t/comment12.sh: New test. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add comment12.sh & comments-escaped-in-var.sh.

Consistently use ‘our’ instead of ‘use vars’. At file scope of a file containing at most one ‘package’ declaration, ‘use vars’ is exactly equivalent to ‘our’, and the latter is preferred starting with Perl 5.6.0, which happens to be the oldest version we support. (This change has nothing to do with the previous two, but I want to make the same change in Autoconf and that means doing it here for all the files synced from Automake.) (I don’t know why, but this change exposed a latent bug in FileUtils.pm where the last pod block in the file didn’t have a ‘=cut’ delimiter, so the code after it was considered documentation, causing ‘require FileUtils’ to fail.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm * lib/Automake/Channels.pm * lib/Automake/Condition.pm * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm * lib/Automake/General.pm * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm * lib/Automake/Options.pm * lib/Automake/Rule.pm * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm * lib/Automake/Variable.pm * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Replace all uses of ‘use vars’ with ‘our’. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Add missing ‘=cut’ to a pod block near the end of the file.

Consistently process -W(no-)error after all other warning options. automake and aclocal were processing ‘-W(no-)error’ whenever it appeared on the command line, which means that ‘-Werror,something-strange’ would issue a hard error, but ‘-Wsomething-strange,error’ would only issue a warning. It is not desirable for warnings about unknown warning categories ever to be treated as a hard error; that leads to problems for driver scripts like autoreconf, which would like to pass whatever -W options it got on its own command line down to all the tools and not worry about which tools understand which warning categories. Also, this sort of order dependence is confusing for humans. Change parse_warnings to take just one option, the _complete_ list of warning categories seen on the command line, and to process -Werror / -Wno-error after processing all other warnings options. Thus, unknown warnings categories will always just be a plain warning. This does mean aclocal has to stop using parse_warnings as a Getopt::Long callback, but that’s not a big deal. Similarly, change parse_WARNINGS to record whether ‘error’ appeared in the environment variable, but not activate warnings-are-errors mode itself. parse_warnings picks up the record and honors it, unless it’s overridden by the command line. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm ($werror): New package global (not exported). (parse_WARNINGS): Do not call switch_warning for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; just toggle the value of $werror. (parse_warnings): Do not call switch_warning immediately for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; toggle $werror instead. Call switch_warning ‘error’ at the very end if $werror is true. Remove unused $OPTION argument. * bin/automake.in: parse_warnings now takes only one argument. * bin/aclocal.in: Call parse_warnings after parse_options instead of using it as a parse_options callback.

Sync ChannelDefs.pm from autoconf. ChannelDefs.pm *ought* to be kept in sync between automake and autoconf, because it defines the set of valid -W options, and autoreconf assumes that it can pass arbitrary -W options to all of the tools it invokes. However, it isn’t covered by either project’s ‘make fetch’ and it hasn’t actually *been* in sync for more than 17 years. This patch manually brings over all of the changes made on the autoconf side. Most importantly, there is a new warnings channel ‘cross’, for warnings related to cross-compilation. Also, the ‘usage’ function now *returns* the text to be put into a usage message, instead of printing it itself. (This is necessary on autoconf’s side.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Sync from autoconf. (cross): New warnings channel. (portability-recursive): Document.

build: break up monolithic Makefile.am in subdir-specific fragments This is convenient to do, now that we have improved "relative directory" support with the '%reladir%' (a.k.a. '%D%') and '%canon_reladir%' (a.k.a. '%C%') Automake-time substitutions for included makefile fragments. This move also satisfy our philosophy of using new Automake features in our own build system, as a way of facilitating early discovery of possible bugs or interface warts. * Makefile.am: Break up ... * doc/Makefile.inc, lib/Automake/Makefile.inc, lib/Makefile.inc, lib/am/Makefile.inc, m4/Makefile.inc, t/Makefile.inc): ... in this new included fragments. Adjust as needed, and make deliberate use of the '%D%' substitution. * contrib/t/local.am: Rename ... * contrib/t/Makefile.inc: ... like this.

maint: describe new versioning and branching scheme, and adjust to it See discussion about automake bug#13578 for more details and background. Basically, for the versioning scheme: - micro versions only for bug and regression fixing; - minor versions for new backward-compatible features, and new non-fatal deprecations; - major versions for backward-incompatibilities, complex new features, and major refactoring. And for the git branching scheme: + branch 'next' is for the upcoming major version; + branch 'master' is now for the upcoming minor version; + branch 'maint' is for the upcoming micro (bug-fixing) version; + the merging hierarchy is: 'maint' -> 'master' -> 'next'. * HACKING (Automake versioning and compatibility scheme): New. (Working with git): Adjust. * NEWS: Update and fix. * aclocal.in: Adjust some "FIXME" messages. * automake.in: Likewise. * m4/mkdirp.m4: Likewise. * t/aclocal-acdir.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal-macrodir.tap: Likewise. * t/aclocal-macrodirs.tap: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm: Likewise. * m4/internal/ac-config-macro-dirs.m4: Likewise.
